    With a fresh coat of paint, higher resolution, and sharper textures, Ghostbusters: The Game Remastered brings the unofficial Ghostbusters 3 script to life for a whole new audience. While the multiplayer mode is still AWOL, Saber Interactive promises we’ll see that pop out of a ghost trap in the near future. In the meantime, there’s a fantastic swan song for the original Ghostbusters team.

    Ghostbusters The Video Game Remastered, unfortunately, still has the same problems of the original game. Cumbersome movement animations are not fun. This game still is the most authentic Ghostbusters experience.

    Just like back then, I see the flaws in Ghostbusters: The Video Game, but as a fan of the two cult movies, I don't care about them at all. Yes, there are many far better third person shooters, but in what other game can I use a positron collider to stop ghosts from spraying slime all over people? The shooter gameplay is fun, despite the partly inaccurate controls, and feels exactly the way you want it to feel. Moreover, the game is teeming with allusions and quotes, which put a blissful grin on the faces of the fans of the movies. But the dry humour is also perfectly fits in other respects - no matter if Ray is just obsessed again or Egon philosophises about one of his strange hobbies. In addition, there is a great atmosphere, varied enemy design and of course some iconic locations from the movies. Of course my fan heart beats faster. So I'm all the happier that everything works technically flawlessly in handheld mode and that I can now catch a few ghosts on the go.

    Ghostbusters was a great tie-in back in 2009 but this remaster doesn’t really make for a vastly improved experience.

Aquellos que, como yo, son fans de estasSe trata de un juego entretenido que continúa la historia de las pelis por sus guionistas originales. Aquellos que, como yo, son fans de estas pelis se lo tragarán entero con gusto. En lo jugable es un shooter en tercera persona lineal, con algunos toques de terror que cumple con lo que promete, sin más. Tal vez se eche de menos en algunas ocasiones algún tipo de cobertura, ya que la forma de evitar los ataques enemigos (el juego implementa un movimiento de esquive) no te permite protegerte, lo que evitaría algunas muertes injustas. Por lo demás encontraréis lo típico; varias armas, mejoras y desbloqueables, coleccionables repartidos por los escenarios para que los explores. Un diseño de los mismos bastante chulo y acorde a la temática, está bastante bien. Esta remasterización aporta mejoras en los gráficos y en la jugabilidad, no he visto bugs de consideración y se juega estupendamente en fullHD con 60 fps estables. Comparándolo con la primera vez que lo jugué en la Wii, las mejoras son abismales, desde el control hasta el aspecto. Recomendable, por lo menos en PC si eres fan de los cazafantasmas y te molan los shooters en tercera persona.… Expand

    Got this on the epic games store. And although it has the occasional bug it is still a fantastic experience for ghostbusters fans in particular.

    Calling this a remaster is kind of a stretch.
    All they did was port it to PC and newer consoles than it released on.

    Some people call it "the true Ghostbusters 3", but it's mostly nostalgia talking.
    Back when this game first came out, we had much lower standards when it came to videogame adaptations.

    All in all, the writing's not exactly amazing, and it didn't age all that well graphically.

    But, for the 20$ pricetag, it's cool.    … Expand

    Last time when I buy a game from this developer/publisher. Broken game. They do not know how to repair it.
